Abstract

The performance of the pilot is closely related to their comfort during flight. An important factor that needs to be addressed is the temperature in the pilot's cockpit and how it is distributed and managed. This paper aims to address the issue of air dispersion because the current location of the ventilation ports do not take into account current human proportions and adaptability demonstrated by humans with regard to global warming. Once this problem is solved, the next step is to optimize the distribution of temperature in the cockpit. As solutions, this work proposes the creation of new ventilation grids that will optimize the way air is managed in the cockpit.
